F e rs htsb ih e nl They 're off and runnný Whitl altnough Claringbold was careful to point out that it is not ini the budget because a bus service has yet to receive council's approval. [J When and if council ap- proves the idea of a town run bus service, the budget will then be brought forward. The proposed budget represents a cost to the town of $97,500 as provincial gran- ts will provide $45,000 and fares and additional $37,500. Il n budget doesit recotme g Clarngbold es d that thme an debenture financing for capital projeets this year although the town may spend $3,442,935 in capital ex penditures. This represents an ap- proximate $300,000 decrease over last year. Among the capital expen- ditures being considered are )budget -cont'de a 1,500 gallon pumper for the fire department's Brooklin hall. The pumper will cost $45,000 and will be paid for out of a reserve fund. This reserve fund, Claringbold said, is set up at the time a piece of equip- ment is bought and for the life of the vehîcle money is set aside to purchase a new one when it is outdated. The amount of nioney put into the reserve fund is equal to its depreciation each year he said. Also in the capital budget is a public works depar- tment program to construct a sidewalk on the west side of Garrard Road from Rossland to approximately half-way down to Dundas Street. This part of the projeet will cost $35,000 and wilI be completed next year. The recreation depar- tment will also spend $20,000 to apply the final coating to the Iroquois Park tennis court; $40,000 to put night lights in one of the basebal diamonds ini the Pringle Creek subdivision and $100,000 to build a park in the N.I.P. (Neighbourhood Im- provement Project) area.
